[PATCH] pidfd: clone: allow CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PIDFD together

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Feb 05 2024 - 09:57:05 EST


copy_process() just needs to pass PIDFD_THREAD to __pidfd_prepare()
if clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD.

We can also add another CLONE_ flag (or perhaps reuse CLONE_DETACHED)
to enforce PIDFD_THREAD without CLONE_THREAD.
